I met Raoul in the Summer of 1992 at one if my performances. Our friendship grew for the next 24 1/2 years. We spoke on average of two to three times a week. He was a very generous friend and avid supporter of my band. I regret that I could not attend the wake due to obligations beyond my control. I offer my sincere condolences to Eve and the rest of the family. I loved him like a relative and will miss him dearly. With my deepest sympathy

I went to grammar school with Raoul. He was always a great friend and fun person to be around. I kept up to date with Raoul's life over the years through a mutual friend. The statements were always the same. What a great friend he continued to be and how he touched so many lives. He was a kind, gracious man, who loved his music. May God shed his eternal light on Raoul and may God embrace his family with love and comfort during this most difficult time. He will be sorely missed by all. I am sure he is in heaven, happy and playing his guitar with his beloved friend, Alan Einert. Fondly, Antoinette Guagliardo Sanchez
